Would be nice if you could make it more distinctive.
It's too vague.

Hi ashf, I logged this with our documentation team on the day I originally replied, so I'm very sorry to hear this has not been resolved yet.
I will chase this up with our documentation team now and ensure that one of them address this issue as soon as possible, providing any updates that I can here.
Many thanks for your continued patience and understanding.
STILL NOT WORKING.
Do you need a help to fix search function?
Affinity user group in Japan has members who are a web developer, if you can't figure out the problem.
Asian full-text search needs special indexing system such as N-Gram.
Latin full-text index won't work.
Just FYI if you don't know about Asian full-text search. -
Non-native formats in Save command may cause the confusion.
Like in other software, if you save as a non-native and continue to edit the file, you will make the change on it but the original native format.
People often don't notice it and later they will regret.
So saving non-native format from Export command is logical and safer.

It's there all the time, even twice depending on the crop mode. Watch the context toolbar:
Yes, I'm aware of it.

Would be nice if Affinity shows size tooltip while using the marquee tools and the crop tool.
Like the one while using the shape tools - showing W and H.
I know I can see it on the Transform panel but the tool tip is easier to see.

According to the VectorStyler web site, information posted today shows that RTL mode is 'still beta'. Fine. I did set the paragraph options to RTL, using a font with RTL characteristics, and other options including language, but the result is not very good. Sure it's RTL, but it's not acceptable for Perso-Arabic except for crosswords. It may work for Hebrew.
Actually RTL support was requested just a month ago. and it's already implemented though it's not solid yet.
Unbelievable speed of development, isn't it?
If you're interested in it, just report a problem or request a change on their forum.
Often they will implement them within in a month. -

If I understand the question, the way I do it is to select both nodes and tap the Break button. This turns one curve into three. Then I leave node-editing mode, select the unwanted curve from the Layers panel, and delete it
It's about new feature in 1.9.

VectorStyler now starts supporting RTL.

It's got a bug tag, so it's at least been logged. But Serif doesn't comment on when bugs might be fixed.
I assume so. Serif won't tell even if it's fixed I think.
So I just asked people here see if it's fixed.
I haven't bought the Chartwell font yet, I'd like to confirm see if it's fixed. -
Any updates？

Hi Ashf,
thanks for letting us know - this is something we're aware of. I will get your comments passed on.Also floating panels come above window of other apps such as Motion.

Happens in Photo as well.

2.0 won't come at least for 2 years from now.

Odd eh! must be a Mac/windows thang.
The development team might be different.
Product itself is not identical.
Windows : ACDsee Photo Studio 2021
Mac : ACDsee Photo Studio for Mac 7 -

Because the Affinity format is inter-app (for want of a better phrase) i.e. each app can open each others files, I think they only have to support Affinity Photo because it will automagically support afdesign files and afpub files as can be seen in my screenshot.
The preview for afdesign is not shown on Windows.
But the preview for afphoto is shown. -

Might be the ACDSee version, ACDSee Studio 6 got thumbnail previews for Affinity but earlier than that I don't think Affinity thumbnails were supported.
A bit more info on file supporting ACDSee: https://www.acdsee.com/en/support/file-formats/
I see, it supports only afphoto. I was checking afdesign files.

ACDsee does not show the preview of Affinity files on Windows somehow.
Is it Mac only...?

Would you use VectorStyler for any mission critical work, now?
It's a toy to play with, or a "plugin" to compensate for some missing Affinity features via clipboard exchange.
But so far, I haven't had the patience to seriously dive into it.
One reason being that VectorStyler is seriously suffering from Featuritis.
I wouldn't, just testing.
Honestly I barely need vertical writing so I'm not so interested in it myself.
But people complaining about vertical writing support in Affinity should try other options rather than just complaining here.
Same goes for people complaining about RTL support.
Or even MS Word/Apple Pages are much better than Affinity at Asian/Middle Eastern typography.
Otherwise, Serif may take eon to implement to it.
If they are satisfied with it, then the problem will be solved.
Or they will notice how good Affinity is and come back to here, that's rather my intension. lol -

While I confirmed that the current VectorStyler, which is advertised as Beta, certainly supports vertical writing, the input experience, at least with the default Japanese IME for macOS, is extremely subpar. Maybe it is because it is Beta.
Yes, because it's beta.
But look at them. vertical writing was requested only 2 months ago and there aren't many Asian testers.
Affiniy still has no plan to implement it after 6 years, on the other hand not only vertical writing but implementation of every feature in VectorStyler is crazy fast compare to Affinity.
Soon VectorStyler will surpass Affinity in typography feature and has already surpassed in many features such as warping, gradient mesh and so on.
I'm satisfied with Affinity and not blaming Serif, but they should look at VectorStyler and think how the development should be. -
Turn off Hardware Acceleration in Preferences>Performance.
Also I heard that the latest Radeon driver is having problem with Affinity currently.
